They were so excited to see the new fidgets, science and math tools, Legos, and cars.\r\n\r\nThe hands-on learning materials have transformed the way my students engage with new concepts. Instead of just listening or watching, they are actively exploring, building, touching, and discovering. I've seen increased focus, deeper understanding, and more meaningful participation from students who previously struggled to stay engaged.\r\n\r\nThe calming tools have been equally impactful. Many of my students are still learning how to manage big emotions. Having access to these resources gives them safe, healthy ways to self-regulate so they can return to learning more quickly and confidently. I've noticed fewer disruptions, smoother transitions, and students who feel empowered rather than overwhelmed.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your support has helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported, understood, and capable. You didn't just fund supplies — you invested in their growth, confidence, and success.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for helping them thrive every day.","fullyFundedDate":1763666409937,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-and-calming-tools-for/9789913/","projectTitle":"Hands on Learning and Calming Tools for My Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Freer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9676239_orig.jpg?crop=1490,1490,x0,y273&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1742424718964","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9676239"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33128","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":755,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":50,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":5,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.1,"schoolId":33128,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John F Kennedy Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John F Kennedy Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/utah/granite-school-district/john-f-kennedy-junior-high-school/33128"}
